my truck runs really rich, pours black smoke when its running, makes my eyes burn while at a light or stop sign, my o2 sensors are bad, can that cause the smoke?

Absolutely, O2s are the main fuel controlling input signal. Also, excess fuel can wash the cylinder walls and cause diluted oil.

Can not help with the harness. But I can tell you that those connectors can look good and feel tight and still not be making good contact. Like they said. Splice it right and your in business. You can practice on old wire before you do the good stuff.

found the harness in a salvage yard out of state and swapped it, solved a ton of my issues, the oxygen sensors were the other problems
